Greek honey frozen yogurt


We have had a hectic week with house-sitting that involved a lot of watering (we'll get back to that subject later) and the holiday right smack in the middle of the week. This picture is from the beginning of the week when Sol was still worn out from running madly around my mother's house in the woods. We got to pick blackberries and eat them and feel the cool mountain air. This was especially nice because our air conditioning stopped working!@! It was electrical, not due to the unit itself or the thermostat, which is what we thought it might be and investigated by removing the outside casing, the result of which is shown here. No, it did not help at all to look at the guts of the thermostat, but it was kind of cool anyway. And we needed the distraction as the temperature climbed. But we lucked out and got cooler temps than usual and then it was finally fixed. Oh, and we made Greek honey frozen yogurt. I call it Greek because that's where I discovered how good plain yogurt with honey can be. Our (american) yogurt is not that good, but this still turned out deliciously. The recipe is easy if you have an ice-cream maker, which Tre was generous enough to purchase for me after I pitched a rather child-like fit two months ago. I obviously made some good points though, the main one being that I would make him many wonderful frozen treats, which I have. Here is the
Ridiculously Simple Greek Honey Frozen Yogurt Recipe:
(the name is longer than the recipe!)
1 pint plain yogurt (I used lowfat, but it would be better with CreamTop, or some other whole milk version, I just have tendencies towards migraines when I have cream)
1/4 C. honey (I didn't want it to be too sweet, but this amount is very adjustable to your own liking)
freeze in ice cream maker! Niiiice.
